Matching information
Chade, Hector; Eeckhout, Jan - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 13 (2018) 1, pp. 377-414
diversify the composition of the teams, ruling out positive assortative matching. This diversification leads to negative …We analyze the optimal allocation of experts to teams, where experts differ in the precision of their information, and … assortative matching when teams consist of pairs of experts. And when experts' signals are conditionally independent, all teams …

Assortative matching and search with labour supply and home production
Jacquemet, Nicolas; Robin, Jean-Marc - 2013
We extend the search-matching model of the marriage market of Shimer and Smith (2000) to allow for labor supply and home production. We characterize the steadystate equilibrium when exogenous divorce is the only source of risk. We study nonparametric identification using cross-section data on...

Assortative matching through signals
Poeschel, Friedrich - 2013
When agents do not know where to find a match, they search. However, agents could direct their search to agents who strategically choose a certain signal. Introducing cheap talk to a model of sequential search with bargaining, we find that signals will be truthful if there are mild...

Enforcing peace agreements through commitment technologies
Murshed, Syed Mansoob (contributor);  … - 2008
This paper models the instability of peace agreements, motivated by the empirical regularity with which peace agreements tend to break down following civil war. When war provides opportunities for profit to one side, or when other difficulties such as historical grievances exist, peace may...

On the micro-foundations of contract versus conflict with i78hjbv mplications for International Peace-Making
Cuesta, José A. (contributor);  … - 2008
This paper expands the micro-foundations of the traditional greed and grievance non-cooperative model of civil conflict between a government and a rebel group. First, the paper's model allows for greed and grievance to be orthogonal, so that they may affect each other. Second, the model allows...

The rate of convergence to perfect competition of matching and bargaining mechanisms
Shneyerov, Artyom (contributor);  … - 2008
We study the steady state of a market with incoming cohorts of buyers and sellers who are matched pairwise and bargain under private information. We first consider generalized random-proposer take-it-or-leave-it offer games (GRP TIOLI games). This class of games includes a simple random-proposer...

Matching heterogeneous agents with a linear search technology
Nöldeke, Georg; Tröger, Thomas - 2009
Steady state equilibria in heterogeneous agent matching models with search frictions have been shown to exist in Shimer and Smith (2000) under the assumption of a quadratic search technology. We extend their analysis to the commonly investigated linear search technology. -- Search ; Matching ;...

Outside offers and bidding costs
Virág, Gábor (contributor) - 2006
This paper provides a search theoretic model with endogenous job creation, and homogenous workers and firms. The model introduces bidding costs and allows the current employer to make a counteroffer with probability q when the worker receives an outside offer. In equilibrium, a higher level of...

Rhetoric in legislative bargaining with asymmetric information
Chen, Ying; Eraslan, Hülya - 2010
In this paper we analyze a legislative bargaining game in which parties privately informed about their preferences bargain over an ideological and a distributive decision. Communication takes place before a proposal is offered and majority rule voting determines the outcome. When the private...
